That is strange for sureā€¦ You said you tried 2 remotes but did you switch out the receiver? I feel like either something is wrong with your setup or somethingā€™s defectiveā€¦ Bioboards uses the vx1 on their high power stuff and if all the vx1s did that, youā€™d think a lot of people would be faceplantingā€¦

One of my receivers came DOA, only have 1. Setup works fine with Nyko kamas, mini remotes and I have the same problem UART/PPM with both VX1s, Ill film a video really quickly tonight to show how bad it is. I wish it worked, i love the form factor but its just awful to ride.

I wonder if your other receiver also has issues. Interestingly, no problems on throttle? May be a bad suggestion but what if you reversed throttle and brake? Does it still do the same or does the problem reverse tooā€¦

0 problems on throttle, really smooth acceleration. Havent tried reversing throttle but will try that tonight.

, installed new remote mini with new receiver, relocated receiver to the front of my board, also turned off thermal throttling. Went for a ride and no micro braking/cutouts

Awesome result! So you couldnā€™t narrow it down to just one thing, or decided the holistic approach is fastest to a solution?

Iā€™ll have to check my amazon ordersā€¦I donā€™t think they are. that would be craaaaazy if they are. Now that you mention itā€¦the tip does seem sorta short.

What chargers do you guys use for grading of individual li-on cells before building the pack?
I found XTAR VC8 close to my needs but it does grading(charge-discharge) only on first 4 channels not all 8ā€¦
